It should clarify that he's gambling with other people's money.

I think someone’s trying to tell me something.

Hey, don't forget about nepotism. I've seen far to many less experienced and less capable people get promoted just because they "Knew the right people".

[–] Ileftreddit@lemmy.world 19 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

Instead of gamble it should be “fraud” lol

"Embezzlement" - my favourite word, phonetically speaking.

Meh there’s only 2 outcomes i always win my 50:50s

I wanted to try stock trading. I literally just had to pick whether it was going to go up or down (to get a positive return) and I picked the ones that looked like they were already going up. I somehow managed to get a negative return anyway after six months.

The moral of the story is don’t trust me with money.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 12 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

Stock trading is for chumps.

Try options trading. In 6 months you'll be rich or blowing strangers behind dumpsters for 20.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 8 points 13 hours ago

Mostly the second.

Sometimes you hit the first then the second.

People think they’re skilled when they’re just lucky and keep rolling the dice. Or they try and have a comeback and throw good money after bad.

rich or blowing strangers behind dumpsters for 20.

Or both, if you're so inclined and/or incredibly prolific 🤷

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 3 points 13 hours ago

I’m too scared to place bets that wild.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 8 points 14 hours ago

If they were already going up, it was too late. Just buy index funds and don’t try and pick winners.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

most people than gamble won't win, but only the winners get interviewed

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 12 hours ago

This right here. There's no survival bias like financial survival bias!

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 23 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I feel exactly like that vote in squid game

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 8 points 14 hours ago

Revenge of the down vote.

I love this community.
